Why so small?

Oh I agree about the happy frog soil being weird... And the pH is completely off I agree with that also. I had a whole separate thread where I was talking about the acidity of happy frog soil. That's why I amended it with dolomite lime and everything else to get the pH fixed. But I do agree about the soil being hot.... I've tried other soils and I've had much worse experiences. Especially that espoma garbage.... That shit just brought nats into my whole entire apartment.... So that's why I went back to the Happy Frog.

I did plant three new ones we'll see how these go. Just don't have much luck growing indoors... If I could grow outside in my garden I'm pretty sure things would be much better......

As far as ILGM IDK. ..... I got seeds from seed supreme because people said it was good then once I buy them everyone says it's garbage..... They said go to ILGM so I bought seeds from there now people are telling me seats from their garbage It's like. 🤷‍♂️. Are there even good seeds or is it like $100 for one seed if it's "good". Cuz I got serious cancer bills I can't afford a seed that they want a hundred bucks for..... I need the stuff i got to be good enough..
 
I mean I might as well just leave them and see what happens after the prebloom stretch.... Maybe they'll gain a little bit of size if not I got the next three planted so they should be sprouting within the next day or two... Maybe those will be better if not I don't know..... Just fucking annoying that I sunk all this money into this and nothing to show for it... Money that could have went towards bills. In too deep now to stop
 
It's crunch time. It's why i got the autoflower variety. I need a fast turnover. And a bit of variety. My dealer OD on coke last month and died. Dispensaries want $60+ for an 8th. That's just too much .... I can't afford that with my tolerance and the weed really helps with all the cancer side effects and the dying part.... Having my own stuff, even if it's not like to shelf shit, would still be better than the prices you have to pay. Like i would be fine with mids. I just need a few ounces per plant not a free grams.

My last 2 plants gave me about 1oz each of decent Northern Lights... I regret not growing then in s bigger bucket because i could have gotten much more. 🤷‍♂️

I think the GG might still come through but the GSC might be a loss. The BB is on the fence. We'll see what happens with the basket I'll keep y'all posted.
 
Try this before you thrash them, water them in a circle around them wider than the leaf spread. Not a lot of water just a bit, not to run off, just wet the soil around them (or even just one of them). Do this about every three days, it will help the roots spread through the soil.
Also there is a thread here that may interest you to gain Free seeds, https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum/growing-community/585383-doing-it-for-free
 
My first 1/2 -1 " of soil will look dry after watering but their feet are wet ( roots ) once you start a fan blowing these fabric pots i've found dry quicker so as they spread out i really take some time applying water slowly allowing it to sink into the soil near the root zone
 
My feeling is that you didn't water often enough around the stems_ 1/2-1" from the stalk, soon after transplant. Since you didn't water often the top 4-6" dried up and your seedlings didn't get enough water because their roots weren't deep enough to reach the water below. They need the water to transport the nutrients to get the photosynthetic process working best it can. So your plants can grow. Next time start your seedlings in starters or 3-4" nursery cups then transplant to your larger container after the third/fourth leaf set. Before you place them in the cups and or pots prep the soil so the PH is about 6.0. If you're using nutrients then add them initially at 1/2 strength until runoff is about 25%. Wait 30 minutes for that to settle and drain evenly. Then flush again with just enough plain water (PH 6) to get enough runoff to test the PH again. It should match if all is well. Check your cal/mag ratios too. If the PH is too low, then your plants can't use any of the calcium or magnesium which is essential for growth. That could be what's happening. I think if it was too much of any nutrient then you'd probably notice some signs of nutrient burn. Even if you don't if the potassium/phosphorus are too excessive then that can affect your plants ability to absorb calcium and magnesium.
Good luck, hope it all works out!
 
See my previous post for this in my earlier reply_I'm crap at social media and it didn't post where I'd intended, apologies, But your issue originated because the medium wasn't prepped at PH 6.0 and because the containers for the seedlings were too large. If you start seedlings in a container that large you need to fill the container with moist medium_ moist enough you can form a "snowball" but no water comes out. Do not flush the entire pot, the damp soil is good, flushed will be too wet. Then once the plants are emerging above the surface water with just a tablespoon around the outside of the plants bout 1/2-1" from the stems. This will keep the soil damp enough for the roots to develop and for the photosynthetic process to kick into gear. More leaves = more roots if all else is well. Then as they grow, water more. Your pots were heavy because the flushed water at the bottom wasn't being used by the plants- they couldn't get to it and its just sitting there (it will take a while to dry because the dry soil on top doesn't let the water evaporate) and the opposite for the first 4-6" of soil, it was too dry for the roots to develop. Hope it all turns out well in the end!
 
No3odiesShad0w I had a sativa in a 5 gal square fabric bag and 3 indica photos in 3 gal round bags, no drainage problems. I put a round grate between the bags and saucers. One was started in the bag, two were started in Solo cups while waiting on more soil. Sativa was started in a 'basket' cup thingy then transplanted.
 
I'd still put plain potting soil in first around the transplant. I transplanted a sativa w/o doing this, saved it by digging out some hot soil and adding their potting soil. And only watering around the 'center' not to the edges ... the roots will find their way.
 
I've been watering them more consistently now. About every 4 days. I'm noticing the weight difference in just those 4 days so it seems to be doing what it should have been doing. I noticed a bump in growth for all of the plants so it's not all lost. But just in case it is..... 2 of the 3 seeds sprouted so I'm going to continue asking with plan B as well.

The autoflower is a weird experience. If something happened and it got stunted it's basically a loss. With photoperiods, you can just wait an extra week or 2 and get the growth and size you want. Just gotta dial the stuff in and not use such a huge container to start with

Got that right about the autos vs photo . My autos are looking like yours right now. Things are going slowwwwwwww
 
I was curious what was going on with the GSC that I planted last week because all of them had already sprouted and this one's not doing anything. So I did a little bit of digging and as soon as I touch the seed the leaves slipped out of the seed but then I noticed that the stem between the leaves and the root had already rotted away and the leaves were separate from the tap root........ You know the Bruce Banner also got stuck within the shell of the seed and I got that one out without a problem but this one just didn't work.... So I planted another. The other 2 are growing at the speed they should be

The Bruce Banner and the gorilla glue are both growing very nicely at the moment.

Out of the bigger ones the only one that I noticed that has a couple of flower petals is the Bruce Banner. The Girl Scout cookies and the gorilla glue I haven't noticed any flowers yet but they're both growing at a nice accelerated speed finally.

The gorilla glue sprouted although I see that the seed is stuck on the leaves...... While the Girl Scout cookies and the Bruce Banner are both growing fantastically so far. If they continue at this rate it's going to be a good successful grow.
